So last winter's "goth/grunge" trend never really happened, but this year is any black lover's chance to stock up on some fantastic pieces from the shops.

Think Mary Kate for this trend, because she was clearly ahead of the game, and wearing head to toe black, has now become somewhat her trademark.

This trend is very versatile, so it can be taken in any direction. Add embellishment for a luxe, glam look, ribbed cottons and bagginess for a grunge touch, or short hems and sleek ponytails for a sexy, sophisticated feel.

Hi Folks,I came across your blog while surfing on Google. Really impressive and creative territory of yours. I am also a fashion junkie and am crazy for latest trends. Otherwise I am a journalist by profession looking after lifestyle. I will appreciate if you visit my blogs as well, can assure you won’t regret. My blog URL: http://styletalk.org/, http://designerplanet.org/Am wondering if we can link exchange? This would allow us to visit each-other’s space with just click of a mouse. Do let me know if you are interested, so that i can do the needful. Regards

I love purple! Yesterday I bought a purple dress in French Connection and I'm in love! I saw a dress in Oasis that's really like that Lanvin one too. It was gorgeous. Yeah! Black is the new Black!Oh and btw, so know what you mean about your grey cardigan. I bought one in Zara a while ago and I have to be practiaclly surgically removed from it!x x x

And the political reason of wearing a Palestina is the arab-israelí conflict. Don't get me wrong, I am not an antisemitist. In my opinion, none of the two cultures are responsibles, but the ONU. Imagine for a moment that the original inhabitants of the house you live in, come back again, and start living there. How would you react?

Ahhh...The Alpine chic is so cute! I honestly really want a sweater with a polar bear on it....and purple, and all berry shades I feel are going to be big....good thing they're basically flattering on EVERYONE....yay :)
